Save the Bay 7/22 - Nocturnal area / Unknown crustaceans tank

The big one on the rock is a species of squat lobster.

@KevinB Never heard of those, interesting. The tank itself is labeled as "unknown crustaceans", with a sign about how they're working on IDing the species in it.

@TinoPup That is an interesting approach, keeping species without knowing for sure what they are or what their needs are...

That said, looking at the other photos this facility does look a little amateuristic.

@KevinB Most of their animals are rescues from bycatch of the local fishing boats. They are all local species that live in theNarragansett Bay, so having a tank with a local water set-up should be enough to keep them until they have a better idea of specific needs for species. Their focus is on educating the public about the bay and what lives there to help motivate people to keep it clean and healthy.
